Charlottesville Fashion Square
Charlottesville Fashion Square is one of the original venues for Chris's Love Quest exploits. Like most of his "attraction locations," it hasn't done much for him, and he has twice been forcibly removed from the premises, once for loitering and once for creating a loud disturbance. Nevertheless, it remains one of the fixtures of his existence outside his home, and he frequently encourages his fans or interested people to meet him there.
Fun fact: The mall was also used in the Tom Clancy book The Teeth of the Tiger as the scene of an Islamic terrorist act. The only relevance this has with Chris is that he also caused terror there himself to many YOUNG LADIES and security guards.
Chris and the Fashion Square
It was in this mall where Chris met Anna and the Tale of the Crazy Pacer got its start.
It was here that he had his heart smashed down to 15% by Hanna, and presumably where he (accompanied by his father) went on his "date" with Emily, who was later rescued by The Man in the Pickle Suit. It's safe to say that, at one point, a large portion of Chris's time spent outside the house was at this mall.
Of course, he only rarely ventures outside these days to shovel snow and do an occasional "parkay", so he may not have graced the halls of the Fashion Square with his presence in a while.
Regardless, due to the misadventures Chris had here, this place holds a significant role in Christory. Say "hi" to manager ScotPalazzo should you ever visit.
Chris versus the Fashion Square
Chris has had trouble with the management and security at Fashion Square on a number of occasions over the years.
On 5 August 2004, according to CWC's Diary, Chris's attempts to fish for a girlfriend with a Red String of Fate were cut short by a jerkop who destroyed that particular Love Quest accessory. A month later, on 6 September, he had another run-in with a security guard who was apparently treated to a rendition of Chris's "Lonesome Virgin story."
11 September 2004 saw Chris's first partial ban from the mall, forbidding him from returning without a parent to accompany him. His diary doesn't explain exactly why he was banned, but Sub-Episode 1 dramatizes the day's events. Reading between the lines of the comic-book version, Chris was loitering and soliciting with his Attraction Sign, became belligerent with security, and was arrested and removed from the mall.
Chris was apparently able to return to the mall unaccompanied by the next spring. On 29 March 2005, the infamous date with Hanna took place, after which Chris emitted an "anguished cry" that led him to be banned from the mall once again. Vivitheg's AIM chat indicates that the ban (which again prevented Chris from going to the mall without a parent) was still in effect towards the end of 2008.
According to the reports of a field agent, Chris has been seen 'sperging at the mall accompanied by his parents in the summer of 2010. Subsequently, on 31 August 2010, he was spotted (and filmed) hanging out at the mall alone, for reasons not yet explained. This suggests that either the bans have expired, or Chris has managed to evade yet another ban.
Chris captured on video
On the last day of August 2010, the same cameraman who spotted Chris at Fridays After Five posted this brief snippet on YouTube, showing Chris slumped in a chair at the mall.
Some observers interpreted this as a mating display (noting Chris's seemingly fixed gaze at a woman sitting nearby), while others proposed that he just crashed into the chair exhausted after the exertion of strolling up and down the mall. However, Chris's e-mail exchanges with Clyde Cash reveal that he was actually sitting around waiting to be rewarded for destroying his PS3.
